I have lived in this city for some years, but I really don't know (nor remember) the name of this tiny square pressed between KJØPMANNSGATA 38 and 40. It's sitting next to Cicignons Plass, but I think this fountain is sitting in a differently named open space.

What I do know is that there has been a struggle whether to tear down Kjøpmannsgata 38 or not (the yellow building to the left). Personally, I hope they keep it, because I feel the city has enough big office buildings in the downtown area and because i think it would not look good in such a historic street..

Additionally, the future plans of Kjøpmannsgata (literally meaning the "trader-men's street), is now under consideration and a tender has been announced to international architect companies to reinvigorate the whole street.

New attraction in Trondheim, if you can call a cafe an attraction..(?)... the former ammunition storage from WW2 near Østmarkneset lighthouse, Lade has been converted to a cafe/restaurant, open only at summer season: the name of the place is LADEKAIA:

That oil rig used to be a maritime safety training center once upon a time, but the building has been left unused and abandoned for the last decade now.

It was listed at the Norwegian second hand website finn.no many years ago, for the purchase price of just 1 NOK, buyer must remove the buidling themselves.

As far as I remember, there was a company at Fosen which was thinking about putting it on a barge and sail it to Fosen and convert it into a hotel.

I don't think the plans materialised.

For the white tube Tommi was asking about, it's an artwork which originally was placed in the park besides Our Lady's Church. Many years ago, it was removed and placed in the port for taggers to do their work (not intentionally off course, but if you leave something white and shiny in an unguarded place, it'll happen).
